Found this in 'USA Weekend', which arrives with our local Sunday paper. Looked interesting, so decided to give it a try.

The meal got the thumbs up from J and it's certainly something that I will make again. I think that next time, I will drain the black beans before adding them to the pot. The undrained beans gave the stew a sort of grayish look and a slightly overpowering taste. I'm also going to use fresher spices as I think mine were a bit old!! I'm also thinking of adding a bit of grated fresh ginger. I also steamed the chicken first.**************
